PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Pickman's model]

Always 'unions' grinding the country to a halt, not 'unions on behalf of millions of workers ...'

never 'unreasonable bosses create conditions for strike'

It's not unionised workers who go on strike unlawfully.

Always 'unions' grinding the country to a halt, not 'unions on behalf of millions of workers ...'

And definitely not, 'the people who work their arses off to stop the country from grinding to a halt every other day of the year'.

Politicians, meanwhile, give themselves three months off at a stretch and nobody really notices because they're fucking useless anyway.

Have we had this? Mark Thomas on Boris Johnson. It's good.

We have had it. My comment was:

Much as I agree with the sentiment, I don’t think that a graduation ceremony is the place for it. People have worked hard for years for their degree and have paid a fortune for their family to come and watch them get it. It’s not the time to make them feel awkward because their Boris-loving granny is in the crowd.

Well you’d better get googling and rectify that then…

He’s spending the summer pretending he’s in a Victor comic isn’t he

Yeah but he’s going to be the ex-public school boy bullying incompetent and cowardly officer who gets found out …a chisel jawed sergeant will make him sacrifice himself on the penultimate page.

Sounds like a comic project for DaveCinzano

 

[steeplejack]

The insistence in Ukraine and Belarus that Boris Johnson is some kind of hero / arch democrat / loveable rogue is beyond tedious

 

[rutabowa]

I've decided I'm not all that interested in predicting who might end up being the Tory leader tbh.

Edit: wrong thread

Sadly Cadman already exists

Like Churchill shooting the Boers.

We had 3 years at least, Of him being the hero who gave us Brexit

seeming as its unfinished it like everything Boris has claimed to have achieved

Wonder if he remembered to pull the pin out the grenade? Or better yet pulled the pin and forgot to throw it.

Fewer size eleven kicks for Larry, whoever takes over.

 

[philosophical]

I hope whoever wins has a severe allergy to cats and Larry sleeps on their face.

They'd just have him killed. "O dear, wot happened to the pretty kitty, he's disappeared ". They are Tories, after all...

Cunts.
If they fucking hurt or disrespect Larry we need a revolution.
Cunts.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree. I think it's worth feeling awkward over, worth it being said, to an audience that might not usually hear what he has to say. Dunno, might feel differently if it was my graduation ceremony, and my granny. But, still, if my granny was tory-loving, I'd prob want her to hear that, and know I agreed with it.

You haven't been to many degree ceremonies then, at every one of mine I've been to, from 1995 to 2013, the principal or vice-chancellor has laid into the government of the day. Not perhaps with as much verve or spirit as Mark Thomas. But laid into nonetheless

Would you feel the same if it was a passionately held sentiment expressed about something you disagreed with? A lecture about the importance of free markets, possibly, and the evils of Marxism? If it’s an inappropriate venue for one then it’s an inappropriate venue for the other. It’s not a debating hall, nobody has the right to reply and people are there to celebrate the accomplishments of the students, not to hear the opinions of a comedian.

 

[two sheds]

I'd not be surprised if loads of degree ceremonies have passionate speeches about the importance of free markets and the like. At least this one gives a bit of balance.
